2013 Altamira 2.5
Shimano 105 group set
Mavic Ksyrium SLS wheelset
Nice bike, very comfortable built for the endurance rider who sprints every now and then. Stiff and fast. On rough surfaces, you literally feel the road..
Like the bike but having issues with warranty.. But thats for another forum.

Here is my 2003 Fuji Roubaix Pro that I built up fresh. The frame was never used and the prior owner stripped it's original 5500 group off of it so I built the frameset up with 5700. This is from yesterday when I finally got it outside for a ride.
Here is a better picture, but it was when it was freshly built. I've since cut the steerer, leveled the seat off, and replaced the pedals (see above).
The 853 steel rides really nice. It dulls the road buzz down significantly. I find it is a little squirrelly, but I think I just have to get used to the geometry since I only have 10 miles on a VERY windy day to judge it.
Really, really, really like this bike.

Glad you like yours! 2700 miles later, I'm still enjoying mine! I'd like to upgrade the wheelset to something lighter at some point, but otherwise I've been happy. That being said, I would not turn down a new Altamira or SST, though!

I am a Proud owner of a 2013 Fuji SST 3.0 LE, purchased from Performance. 105 components all around, carbon fiber all around. I have had it for about 5-6 months and I love it.

I have a 2012 Fuji SST 3.0. Purchased it on February 2012. upgrade from a previous bike which is the giant OCR3 alloy frame with tiagra components. the feeling was great. my wife even got envious because I was riding it more than her. LOL! good memories happened. rode with bo Jackson, ken Griffey, and lance Armstrong on april 2012 on that bo bikes bama charity ride. (before lance became the villain to everybody)
2013 was a year to forget. got a knee injury because of tennis. recovered earlier this year. back to running and cycling again.
last week, there was a popping sound coming from my front wheel. I thought it was the rims. went to LBS and told me my front hub got a small crack inside. oval wheelsets really suck I guess.
now, im shopping for a wheelset upgrade. I already upgraded my rear derailleur for a dura-ace. I want to upgrade my front derailleur and crankset too.
I have a question. I don't know anything about bottom brackets. if I buy a dura ace or ultegra crankset, do I need to replace the bottom brackets too? or could I use the old one? what do I need for a crankset upgrade?
thanks a lot!

Here are my rigs.
After a few changes like saddle, pedals, and a Di2 drivetrain
Not pictured is my girlfriends Fuji Sportif, outfitted with Ultegra 6700, and Oval Concepts W945 Carbon Clincher wheels

I like that you have both of these. I'm just looking to get started on a road bike and was considering the sportif over the roubiax. Since you own both I'm interested to hear your opinion. I'm looking to do 10-15 miles a few times a week, nothing competitive. Thanks.

1986 Del Rey set up for brevet service
Two opportunities to post this picture today (this and the Steel Club thread). This bike gets some funny looks on club rides but it rolls along OK.

I've got a 2008 Fuji Roubaix Pro. Picked it up in 2008 from Performance and it's still going strong.
Also, built up a black 2012 SL special edition frame set last year. Anybody else out there have this frame?

That looks outstanding. I'd trade out the saddle bag for something smaller though. The bike is so sleek looking but it's got a big booty.
